Digest = me + a possible glass of wine + reflection the previous weeks ongoings and a glimpse into future happenings. You're Welcome. 

This week has felt incredibly heavy with seeing so much loss. Friends, strong friends, broken from the devastation of the wildfires, but proving to be stronger than they knew possible. I find fire to be terrifying, my own brother have passed away in a house fire when he was 33, 20 years ago. Always the reminder of how short this one life can be. I am lucky to be able to paint and an idea that has been swirling around for months, maybe years, maybe a whole lifetime, finally took shape.

Phases of the Moon By Kristen Coates

This installation piece comprised of 9 mixed media assemblages of archival paper, ink and paint, is a fantastic exploration of color theory and I can't stop looking at it and thinking about it differently each time. I thought for sure I would be alright with separating each frame individually, but now that it's finished, I am going to keep these together as a set. Perhaps I'll make more to sell as singular pieces or pairs. You will have to let me know what you think. In the meantime, I'm going to get this installed on the wall in the gallery - unless you need it installed on yours. You will have to let me know about that too. 

Tonight is the last night of our home decorator sale. I am so thrilled so many people hopped on this mini event and have been stocking up on beautiful things for the home. The sardines have definitely been a hit. Thank you for that. I love painting these funny little guys. You can shop the sale here and use code HOME for 30% off your order.

 

I'm in and out this week as I start to work in my space on Bellevue as hybrid of painting studio and gallery. I've been recording something fun I'm almost ready to share... I always think these bigger projects are going to take a few days and it ends up being months or years... but we are almost there with this one! Until then, I hope to see you around the gallery and if you have questions, go ahead and pop over a note hello@kristencoates.net 

 Live your most extraordinary life as soon as possible. 

Happy weekend from our family to yours!
XO Kristen
